Opened in March 2001, the National Museum is the first in the country devoted to the stories of Australia and Australians, exploring the key issues, events and people that have shaped and influenced our nation. The National Museum of Australia explores the land, nation and people of Australia. The Museum celebrates Australian social history in a unique way by revealing the stories of ordinary and extraordinary Australians, promoting the exploration of knowledge and ideas and providing a dynamic forum for discussion and reflection. The Museum building itself is anti-monumental, compelling and controversial. With 6600 square metres of permanent and temporary exhibition space, it is a visual feast, characterised by vivid colours, unexpected shapes and angles, and textures that are not seen in any other Australian national buildings.
